As you enter your third trimester of pregnancy, you should start thinking of what you'll need to pack for the hospital. Whether this is your first pregnancy or fourth, it's always good to make a list!

Here's a list of what you'll need for your hospital bag for you, baby and daddy (spouse)! I've learned along the way that less is more. I'm currently 34 weeks pregnant with Baby #4 and this list is what we'll need for the hospital. No need to pack the whole house lol....you'll most likely stay in the hospital for 2-3 days and the hospital will have most of you'll need too! Ok, here's the list and don't forget to get your FREE printable of the Hospital Check List too!
